What to do when you feel sore after Yoga
- Do hydrate, then hydrate some more.
- Drink water, not sports drinks, says Amy C. Sedgwick, an emergency medicine doctor and Yoga Medicine certified yoga instructor in Portland, Maine. "We want to help increase our blood volume so this fluid can be distributed more easily to the tissues to allow transfer of nutrition, healing cells, and flushing out metabolic waste. Hydration is the way that happens."
- Do get plenty of sleep.
- Your body can't "gear down" without sleep and rest to allow for the parasympathetic nervous system (rest-and-digest mode) to be in charge, says Sedgwick. "Without enough sleep, the neuroendocrine system will not prime the body and tissues for repair and relief."
- Do exercise—gently.
- Exercise is the best way to relieve feeling sore after Yoga. She adds that doing the same muscle movements and sequences you did before feeling sore—but less intensely—can help relax muscle spasms and allow muscles, connective tissue, and joints to find a greater range of motion.
- Do take a hot bath.
- Not only does this feel great, but it helps to initiate the parasympathetic nervous system to reduce tension and allow the body to be in a state of healing, says Yeary.
What not to do when you feel sore after Yoga
Don’t take anti-inflammatory drugs.
It may seem like a brilliant idea to pop an aspirin when you’re feeling sore after Yoga, but it’s not the best way to help speed your recovery, says Yeary. Inflammation is how the body responds to any type of injury, to properly repair any damaged tissue, you must have inflammation. If you remove that inflammation with a drug, you are hindering your body’s natural healing mechanisms.
Don’t down caffeine and energy supplements.
Sedgwick says that unless you’re an ultra-endurance athlete, you are not likely to deplete your system so much that you need caffeine, energy drinks, or supplements. “This only adds unnecessary calories and other substances to a body that needs gentle movement, hydration, and rest,” she says.
Don’t practice intense stretching when you feel sore after Yoga.
Yeary says long, static stretches or over-stretching sore muscles can do more harm than good. “The tissues are already slightly damaged and working on healing.” if you over-stretch your strengths and “wring them out” of all their fluids, you reduce their ability to heal and may even damage them.
